British Pedal Company MK1.5 Tone Bender

The BPC MKI.5 Tone Bender, often hailed as the mythical fuzz due to its scarcity and the few original models in existence, marks a significant milestone in music history with its introduction in 1966. Encased in the iconic Grey Hammerite Aluminium, this version distinguished itself from its predecessor, the MK I, with a unique 2x OC75 transistor circuit. Notably, one of these rare units made its way into Abbey Road Studios, famously used by George Harrison of The Beatles, adding to its legendary status. The MKI.5 is celebrated for its bright, high-gain, snappy tone that becomes distinctively raspy when used in its two-transistor setup. It features simple controls for Level and Attack, allowing musicians to fine-tune their sound. The limited production run, coupled with a certificate of authenticity and a Transistor Tone Guide, further cements the MKI.5 Tone Bender's place as a coveted piece of musical equipment, cherished by collectors and musicians alike for its unique sound and historical significance.

Comes with original box and pouch.
